4:32 This is so great. You can fry an egg on Khan's head.
He's still mad about CETI ALPHA 5 lol
And then he made you eat it. And then he had you ejected into Space to stop being annoyed by your existance.
He did not ask you how the egg tasted.
Even in the Future, still rats and bugs in the ships and stations. How do the vermin get in? Such scum!
LOL What do lions' ribs taste like, when cooked properly? LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Unlike weird animal things, _people_ cook their food. So do you know anything about that at all?
P.S.: _People_ are capable of capitalizing the first letter of their name, and many countless other things that animals are not capable of comprehending if they had any awareness at all, though I'm completely sure that you do not.
Logic, Reason, Rationality, Civility, Sanity, a single I.Q. point, et al, clearly dictate: You have no excuse at all whatsoever in this Universe, nor any other either, that seems certain enough.

"We are now entering the Mutara nebula."
One round of applause to the gas cloud that gave us the best starship duel of cinematic history.
A submarine battle in space...
“Emergency lights.”
I remember seeing this in the theater and noticing that only Kirk didn't get thrown forward when entering the nebula.
This is not only the best Star Trek movie, but it’s one of the best naval films. Unlike so many Star Trek films, this battle wasn’t won by some Deus ex Machina, but by superior tactics. My favorite moment is Spock telling Kirk “he is intelligent, but not experienced. His tactics suggest two dimensional thinking.” This is a great example of how a subordinate talks to his captain. He never presumes to tell the captain the course of action, but merely reminds his captain of that which he already knows.
very good!!
Agreed and Kirk was a good captain. He would consult his officers for their expertise and delegate orders with minimal detail because he trusted in their experience.
Oh you watched the dvd special features too? Like the part when they say that exact same thing, and mention how Spock’s leading Kirk to the correct summation without giving him the answer? And yeah it’s like 2 subs, or a sub and a destroyer.
Good take
@@peytonburnsed2196 Maybe you should watch the dvd special features. You won’t think it’s that great after doing so.
"Sauce for the goose Mr. Savik. The odds will be even."
That line spoken nearly 40 years ago still pumps me up. A sign that a movie like this never goes stale.
I always wondered why he called her mister.
@@Wildstar40naval conventions I think. Tom Paris stumbled over whether to address Captain Janeway as Sir or Ma'am when he first came aboard Voyager
Spock is a steely eyed missile man
Came here exactly for that line, definitely agree!
I'd never heard the phrase before this film and for years, I wasn't even sure what he was saying.
I know they're starships, I know it's space... but this will forever be one of the best submarine battles in cinema history.
This movie was at least partially inspired by "The Enemy Below," starring Curt Jurgens and Robert Mitchum. Check it out.
Equal parts submarine battle and Napoleonic naval battle. The Mutara Nebula could be underwater...or a fog bank.
Right up there with ST:TOS "Balance of Terror".
Space is more like water rather than compareing it to sky.
In the first effective laser barrage from both ships they basically exchange broadsides, just like 18th century naval ships did.
One of the best scored movies in cinematic history.
I believe it was Horners first score, no? It does have a lot of Tchaikovsky influences, though.
@@Bartonovich52 A late reply but Horner did several scores before this, but the most famous one is probably Battle Beyond the Stars. The soundtrack is actually similar to this one, but you can tell he flushed it out and matured it for Khan.
@@Swarm509 Ya crazy though it was 1980 that both scores are similar.
@@Bartonovich52 Wasn't his first, but this score basically made him a made man, they couldn't afford Jerry Goldsmith so they hired Horner, by the time Undiscovered Country came out, they couldn't afford Horner.
Bartonovich52 I'd always thought that this score was done by Alexander Courage
Perhaps I'm confusing this with another Star Trek movie that Alexander Courage had scored
I loved the crystal clear understanding between the two. "If he goes in there we'll lose them" "Explain it to them!" Torpedo is fired, crosses the expanse of space and grazes the Enterprise, "That was close" "They just don't want us going in there." Kirk speaks fluent Photon Torpedo.
This sequence has some of the strongest musical interplay between heroes and villains in any film. James Horner bouncing back and forth between Kirk and Khan is so much fun to listen to.
The thematic push/pull dynamic orchestrating the struggle is essential for an effective battle theme. This applies to other genres such as video game music as well.
Horner is brilliant for sure. Such awesome soundtrack work.
By the time Braveheart/Titanic rolled around, Horner was plagiarizing himself almost constantly and had become pretty formulaic; which is not to say he wasn't absolutely brilliant earlier in his career. This score easily ranks among the very best of his work, along with Field of Dreams.
@@davidstefano2709Did he borrow from his earlier work alot in the 90’s/2000’s? Sure. But Braveheart was totally original and so were a few others. He was also incredibly busy during that time so I have to imagine that he occasionally cut corners in order to get the music, for some films, completed in time. He also may’ve just loved those particular pieces and thought they fit the scene. “Sneakers” is a good example of that. He used a little bit of the scary music from “Aliens”, when Redford is trying to escape Cosmo’s security guards. And it actually does work well. But It’s still an almost totally unique score.
@@davidstefano2709, (scoff) some would call that establishing his voice.
😢 RIP 🙏🏻 Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, Kirsty Alley, Ricardo Montalban, Bibi Besch, Merritt Butrick and Paul Winfield. Keenly missed but immortalised in an all time classic.
Wow there's not many of them left
@@mattyoung4990 about one chimpanzee and two trainees worth.
@@mattyoung4990 Shatner, Takei, Koenig is all that are left.
"I'm LAUGHING at the "superior intellect"'
-
Wow - you can feel Khan's rage after that...
Such a phenomenal movie!
Kirk has beaten him before. To khan, kirk is humiliating him in front of his people. Also pure hatred.
rthinds agreed
Khan seems pretty thin-skinned when it comes to someone insulting his intelligence
nice tactic to use psychology and let the bunny jump out from the bush
Now THAT is putting pressure on someone who prides himself on his generic genetics.
The music really does it there
In the novelization, Joachim's last thought as he dies was 'I don't want to be avenged'.
R.I.P. James Horner, Your soundtrack for this movie was epic and legendary and i've always loved the chase between Enterprise and the Reliant in this movie because of it.
He inspired many that came after him
Didn't Horner score Avatar also? A couple of great themes.
I'll chase James Horner 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give his soundtracks up.
oversoul He did & he also scored over 100 soundtracks before his untimely death. What a prolific & successful career he had though.
His soundtrack transformed this movie into the success it was.
The two subtle looks that Montalban has in this scene, the one when his crewman stumbles and touches him as they enter the nebula and the other when his second in command says he is reducing speed without Khan ordering but realizing it was the right thing to do, were just the right touch to make this movie seem so real. The reactions were so natural.
plus "There she is... ahhh... not so wounded as we were led to believe... so much the better... lol....
One of the best battleship scenes of all times.
In Star Trek games, NCC-1701 Enterprise is classified a heavy cruiser - Constellation class, and NCC-1864 Reliant is a light cruiser - Miranda class
Edit: NCC-1701 is Constitution class. Thanks for the inputs.
srujan00 *Constitution
Juan Zingarello fun fact:
This scene was inspired by The submarine battle scene in "Das Boot"
srujan00 the original Enterprise was a Constitution class
The USS Stargazer was a Constellation class
2 completely different designs, brah
The Miranda class, would later inspire The design for the Soyuz class starships, such as the USS Bozeman
This one, and the battle in Star Trek 6, although I wish in 6 there were more shots of the exterior of the Enterprise.
7:27 Love Kirk's tense, reflexive twist to the right in his chair as he calls to evade to starboard. The same way when playing a video game one jerks the controller in the direction one wants things to go when avoiding something. Nice acting touch.
Yeah, I had similar reflexes when playing shooters, like when you dont see a hit coming. Or when youre playing a Horror game and a jumpscare happens. Its really a neat touch. For a second there, Kirk wants his precious ship to steer starboard like hes in control of a steering wheel.
Damn. I never put that together. I do the same thing when I’m playing video games.
Plus the musical sting when the Reliant shows up on the view screen directly in front of them - that scene is damn near perfect.
This is technically a very well made film. They should use it in film school. The rivalry between Kirk and Khan is so well done that you kind of forget that Kirk and Khan never physically meet face to face in the film.
That is a nice touch.
JJ Abrams and Alex Kurtzman should take some notes here.
“Full power! Damn you!” One of my favorite quoted movie lines. I love this freaking movie!
Now, this is how you score a movie!
In terms of ST music, I think it's James Horner, Michael Giacchino and Jerry Goldsmith
Agreed, but James ripped of his own ST music to comply with other movie projects like Krull first, then Aliens. Use what works.
As far as TNG era movies go, I actually like McCarthy's score for Generations the best. The overture is fantastic.
As far as TNG era movies go, I actually like McCarthy's score for Generations the best. The overture is fantastic.
Nemesis actually had a pretty good score too.
Always loved that scene between Kirk and Chekov and what it shows about the two characters. Chekov's still in a bad way but is determined to make it to the bridge to be of assistance. Whether that's due to (misplaced) guilt and an (unnecessary) desire for redemption or a personal decision not to lie in sickbay when his comrades are in a battle, or even just the ethos of what it means to be a Starfleet Officer, it demonstrates a strength of character. Kirk's body language first conveys concern, and then, upon hearing Chekov's question, understanding. He knows that assigning Chekov to a station will go a long way to helping him begin the healing process from what's been done to him. Firing those torpedoes wouldn't have hurt either.
Well Chekov probably had a big smile on his face as he blasted Reliant to bits. Those shots he fired are pretty savage.
Chekov was the first officer of the Reliant before she was hijacked by Khan so he probably had mixed feelings about it as on one hand he is stopping the rogue augment and his motley crew but on the other Reliant was his ship.
Chekov: "Torpedoes ready sir." You can hear in Chekov's voice and his voice that he is already on the mend.
It works because the movie doesn't forget that Chekov is a character not just an extra and SHOWS us his character (instead of talking about it) -- so the audience can care about him. Without characters to care about, nothing else matters.
“We are now entering the Mutara Nebula.” Leonard Nimoy made everything sound epic.
Spock: "Now if you will excuse me I must use the restroom." Yep ! Epic ! 🤣
Kirk: "That young man is my son."
Spock: "Fascinating."
Yes he did he even made a game called seamen sound epic
Indeed. In addition to being a great screen actor, Nimoy was one of the best voiceover actors and presenters/narrators of all time.
THERE SHE IS... THERE SHE IS. Still gives me the chills
Harry Blaser that’s how I describe seeing my ex wife.
Not so wounded as we were led to believe............ So much the better 😁
It's like when Captain Ahab sighted Moby Dick.
@@johntracy72 Yup. When Terrel and Checkov are exploring the Botany Bay, one of the books on the bookshelf is "Moby Dick."
Not as wounded as we were lead to believe. All the better.
God DAMN these Special Effects are SOOO Tight! Everything has physicality. I wish Hollywood would revert to these effects man. So good!
Practical effects do have their advantages over CGI. The ultimate of course is a hybrid. Their both extremes, the best representation of reality is somewhere in between.
parallax3d weal l know that man, but trek is trek and Battlestar Galactica is Battlestar Galactica. plus Babylon 5 is just boring.
Star Trek ships move like sailing ships not airplanes! The whole "two-dimensional thinking" implies that Khan doesn't take into account they're in outer space though. No matter how smart his genetic intellect is over regular humans, its more of an adaptive thing at best, meaning he and his people can catchup extremely quickly to the methods of those in the 23rd Century. Which doesn't take into account years of experience and raw ability of those who have been doing it for a living (i.e. the crew of the Enterprise) in Starfleet however.
I agree. Great blend of both. The model ships make it appear more realistic. All cgi makes it appear close to animation. Eg old and new Star Wars. Ruined. 1st were better because hand made sets and ships. Now all green screen and wires looks fake and acts fake
The sparking effects when the phasers strike the hull are really cartoon-y, as is the sparking from the damaged nacelles. Those are the sort of effects CGI are best for: supplementing the models and miniatures like how LotR did it.
Wow. I'd kinda forgot, Ricardo Montelban was a legend. This is amazing, thanks for uploading.
I thought he should have received an Oscar !!!
The best Star Trek movie. Hands down!
rain73ful agreed!!
"The film that saved the franchise"
Agreed
The Undisputed best Star Trek movie period. This one was so amazing even non Trek people I know watched it and like it. For us Hard core Trek fans it will be hard to beat this one. It has everything that we loved about ST.
I don't know - I think the original film was better, but I can see why most people wouldn't have liked it.
The original film was about an artificial intelligence that was trying to find purpose in it's existence after it had learned everything that could be learned. Having learned everything that could be intellectually known, it was searching for meaning. That's a very heady idea, almost religious. It had reached the apex of being essentially a god yet it still hadn't found a purpose for itself in existence
I think that was the best film, just for the enormous question it asked.
Spock is such a damn BOSS! "Khan is intelligent, but inexperienced. His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking.". Totally correct. There is no "up or down" in space... Khan is playing flat-board chess, but Spock reminds Kirk that they need to play 3D chess!
I've never thought of it that way.
@@johntracy72Kirk was the only person who ever beat Spock in 3d chess. Not even the freaking computer could.
"Khan, I'm laughing at the superior intellect" - When Kirk trolls the internet lol
Kirk should've had the digitized shades and cigarette drop into place right at the moment he said that. :D LOL
Star Trek micdrop moment
Spock: "I submit, sir, that you are a flawed and illogical specimen of humanity ..."
Chekov: "You remind me wery much of a leetle old lady from Leningrad ..."
Sulu: "Oh ... my ..."
Kirk: "Amateurs ... KHAN! I will pwn you like I did yo momma last night, come at me see what happens ... noob!"
“I’ll say this for him, he’s consistent...” this is the point where Kirk starts to enjoy things again.
"Full power. "
"But sir..."
"FULL POWER...DAMN YOU!!!!"
Sulu is a beast on those phasers. The Reliant got off a surprise hit on Enterprise, but then Sulu pinpointed their bridge to devastating effect. It was a miracle that Khan wasn't killed and Reliant retained command function.
Sulu was also able to get a phaser lock without being detected right before transmitting the prefix code.
Easily one of the greatest movies ever put to film. Modern films simply cannot remotely compare.
Agreed modern over reliance CGI and god bods can't compare to a well made movie with good a story excellent well thought out lines and a unique but iconic soundtrack made for the actual movie and not just tacked on from someones spotify playlist
The expanse.
Wrath of Khan is on my 100 greatest list, right next to First Contact
I really love the colors in this movie. The mutara nebula was red and blue, the warp effects were red and blue. Even the Genesis machine flashed red and blue. Really beautiful combination.
The score for this film is phenomenal!
The visual effects were incredible for 1982....Thank You ILM for making this incredibly realistic.
Got to love How Kirk and Spock are always on the same page! Can't underestimate the value of your #2!
Fascinating
Have you ever played "Star Trek Klingon Academy"? There's a lecture by Gen. Chang (Christopher Plummer) that talks about the "Field of Death", i.e. the battlefield. Chang tells his cadets about finding the terrain that, basically, improves your chances yet weaken your opponent's strength. If this scene doesn't prove that point, i'll be damned. ijs
@@greg.d.c The nebula represents a force multiplier, and coupled with Kirk's better tactical capabilities in three dimensions, it puts Khan at a disadvantage. Khan doubtless would kicked Kirk's ass on a planet's surface. Maybe if Khan had been a submarine commander.
@@mightymartianca personally I believe Kirk would still win on a planets surface. He beat Kahn on his own ship when they first met. Regardless of land or space Kahn is still a 20th century human in a 23rd century galaxy. He's a fast learner but his experience is a cup full of out dated procedures. Kahn didn't change the codes of the Reliant allowing Enterprise to patch in and lower the shields. Kahn thought he could monitor their communications but Kirk and Spock were already aware that he'd do something like that. Kahn is quite literally an open book considering Kirk has Kahn's entire history on hand from the Eugenics War. Kahn's best advantage he had was the element of surprise when he first approached the Enterprise. As Spock referenced, Kahn's pattern indicates two dimensional thinking. Not just in the Nebula battle but throughout the entire film. Kahn consistently makes decisions without any thought of consequence. If Kahn won and destroyed the Enterprise where would he go after that? What would he do? The entirety of Starfleet would eventually hunt him down to get back Genesis and in a Miranda Class vessel he wouldn't have much of a chance. He's also a very inexperienced Starship Captain. His crew would honestly mutiny against him because they believed he was leading them off their doomed world to a better life when in reality he was just using them to get his revenge on Kirk. That being said Kahn is still very much ruthless and with proper time and control of his emotions and ego he could potentially be unstoppable.
The music in the beginning of this clip emphasizes this. Two different instruments, reflecting two different personalities, in perfect harmony.
James Horner was a genius. RIP
Still one of the best space battle scenes in sci fi cinema. Classic confrontation of good versus evil.
7:33 They are going at each other like two 19th century Man-'O-Wars.
The one Star Trek movie I could watch anytime! It was awesome.
I am a hard core Star Wars fan, but when I saw this movie, I honestly forgot about Star Wars for a while.
That is actually true
@@dottiesttoasthe was too classy for that silly award.
Favorite line from Khan, "FULL POWER! DAMN YOU!"
The way Khan's eyes go big too.
I like the way he screams, "FIRE!!" in the first battle...
nah, "Let them eat static" is way better.
My favourite line was "Khan....I'm laughing at the superior intellect."
From hell's heart I stab at thee...
“EVASIVE STARBOARD!”
Maybe my favourite bit. The tension building and then action out of nowhere, each ship getting its shots in.
Damn! After so many years this still gives me Goosebumps. Watching this in the theater was incredible.
Love how Spock talks about the human ego and we get a zoom in close up of kirks face. Very nice touch
Folks, this may be one of the 5 greatest Science-Fiction movies EVER made.
matthewakian2 And stand-alone from genre one of the best overall
matthewakian2
Don't be ridiculous
Nick Meyers knew how to make a Trek film. He also did VI in '91 which is my second fav behind II.
PeterSellers22 he’s right. This movie is a pure gem. Not many science fiction fantasy movies have a rerelease in the theaters but this one did. That fact alone speaks volumes of its greatness. Glad they did release it again because I didn’t see it in the theaters back in 82 unfortunately as I was only 5 😕
Thomas Daly eh the only movie on your list that is on par with it is empire strikes back. And although I love empire strikes back and it’s by far my favorite Star Wars film I would still put Star Trek II before it because it has all the great elements that make a movie great. Han Solo didn’t die in it so there wasn’t any monumental sacrifice made like there was with Spock dying to save the ship. Anytime a movie has a martyr who gives their life for a Nobel cause it makes that movie superbly better. That’s why Star Trek II was picked as watch mojos best movie for a character making the ultimate sacrifice to save other lives
TWoK is proof that Shatner can act. The less is more approach works well with him. It allows you to see the subtle touches of his performance.
He did win best actor at the 1983 Saturn Awards for this movie. Well deserved win.
Nicholas Meyer more or less had to trick it out of him in some scenes.
@@metatron448 I heard about that and thought: "that's pretty ingenious." The results were obvious. One of Shatner's finest and most underrated performances.
His performance in The Search for Spock was even more impressive, and I believe it showcases his finest portrayal of Kirk.
@@FomorViceroy I thought it, and most of his Star Trek movie performances were excellent.
I can't believe thy cut the loading if the torpedoes. That was the best part. It contribute to the whole nautical/submarine feel that Meyer was striving for in this film.
I absolutely LOVE the shot at 6:12 where the ships pass by each other, really effective at showing how disorienting and confusing the scenario is
It always reminds me of two sharks circling in the water column of a reef
It’s a gorgeous shot
This movie was the best for sure. The music was epic.
So much excellent dialog on the transporter platform. Spock knows Carol Marcus of course. I don’t think I understood the clever coding of the transmission until at least my 2nd viewing of the film. And talking during the beaming? A first for Star Trek.
"That young man, he's my son!" "Fascinating."
LOL I suspect Spock was thinking, how many other kids have you got out there in the galaxy, Jim?
Swlightdreamer1985 )m
Is that an added scene that's only in certain versions of the movie?
Not in the directors cut on blu ray, he specifically removed that line
@@iad77 Wasn't in the first VHS cut I saw in 1983/4 either.
"Khan....I'm laughing at the superior intellect". Best line of the movie. Really got under his skin with that comment.
"Kahn, I'm laughing at the superior intellect" Best line in the movie..
Kirk was the man!
Something often overlooked in TWOK, is how Meyer makes a huge point on the comparison between Kirk’ & Khan’s ideology.
Khan is a tough, & almost Totalitarian leader. Meyer makes the point to frequently show how Khan ignores Joachim’s wise comments. He doesn’t trust his own tribe, & is intent on controlling all aspects of the assault.
Had he listened to most of Joachim’s advice, Reliant would’ve most certainly destroyed the Enterprise, & gone into negotiating huge rewards in turn for selling the genesis device.
At the end of this scene, we see Khan completely oblivious to taking any responsibility for his incorrect decisions, whilst additionally ignoring Joachim, which leads to his death. Khan simply states: “I will avenge you,” ironically, it was Khan who is truly responsible for his death, for taking Kirk’s bait once again, despite the fact they could simply starve them by waiting outside of the nebula.
This is Meyer taking a pop at totalitarianism again; as dictators will almost never admit fault for the loss of life caused by reckless decisions, as it loses the trust of the people who are still under the influence of the propaganda (which is why Glastnost was so detrimental to Gorbachev’s failings at the dissolution of the Soviet Union.)
On the other hand; despite Kirk also being a very controlling leader, he admits fault almost instantly, after failing to raise the shields in time which lead to many deaths, & substantial damage to the Enterprise.
He takes responsibility, & frequently consults & listens to his crew for advice.
This is Meyer showing the advantages of a Democracy (although Democracy has changed a lot since 1982) & why a team; be it sports or a business, always work well when everyone feels worthy & listened to.
A good leader uses his crew members’ strengths to cover up for his weaknesses.
Kirk makes the same mistake as Khan at the beginning, by not listening to his team but from then on he goes the opposite way to Khan, & takes advice rather than ignoring their wisdom.
I have to say that Kirk vs. Khan is one of the greatest rivalries in fiction (as portrayed in "Space Seed" and "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan")
Skullsmasher best ever. period.
One of the best sci-fi films of all time. I can watch it over and over again.
The music made this so badass
This has a vibe of "I lost, got up on my feet, and now I'm ready again and won't fail this time!"
Yep. James Horner awesomeness at its best! Sad he passed away so young 😕
A masterclass in film editing. All the Kahn scenes were shot first - the special effects shot last and to save money some effects from Star Trek The Motion Picture were reused. All material seamlessly put together.
Love how Kirk trolls Khan to get him to follow him into the Nebula.
1:05 Spock: “… and I’m sure you’ve got a lot more where that came from.”
6:17 My favorite part, when the Enterprise gets behind Reliant and the music starts playing.
Same!!!
What a beautiful shot of the Enterprise passing the camera.
Love this sequence and James Horner's music. Just perfect. So glad I got to see this in the theater when it came out in 1982.
4:56 "We are now entering the Mutara Nebula. If you look to the left, you'll see Mutara Nebula Heights, a new, affordable housing development for the middle class. On the right is the Mutara Nebula Mall, which will have over 104 stores when it's completed in Star Date 3249."
Thanks for posting-"Khan I'm laughing at the superior intellect" I have a great memory of watching this film in the the Theater back in '82-So much more satisfying then the first film! and I was on a great date! I mean a really, really great date lol!
Such a masterpiece
Probably the best space ship to ship combat scene ever put to the silver screen even compared to anything today!!!! From music, pacing, effects to acting, magnificent!!!!
"From hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate sake I spit my last breath at thee"
Mr. Montalban should have gotten the Oscar for this role. This clash of the Titans sequence is one of the finest action sequences ever put to film. The score and dialogue is simply goose pimple city.
Always loved the phaser effects of wrath
This movie - the plot, soundtrack, even the special effects - has aged so well. A true classic.
All one can say is Truly one of the best Star Trek movies of all time .. so well done Ricardo Montalban is just great
An outstanding movie scene scored perfectly. Still the best trek!
The interaction of Kirk and Khan is what made this motion picture a classic... "I'm laughing at the superior intellect" comment Kirk makes to Khan to set off his ego was pure literary genius.
Indeed, he sees Khan slowly and Kirk just casually pokes the bear 😂 love it
They are equals, both noble and flawed… Khans desire for vengeance is his doom. It clouds and perverts his superior intellect and judgment. He deserved his own series exploring this fascinating character
While the acting was superb, I believe the music made it better.
Composer is James Horner and You're ABSOLUTELY right!
Odee Dillon you are correct. the music was perfect.
Horner did an amazing job
James Horner kept the Enterprise (good guys winning) and the Khan/Reliant themes distinct, you get sometimes just a second of either one playing, as the balance changes.
I loved this movie when I was a child. Found the soundtrack in the discount bin for 1$ in 1982. Still have the record. James Horner was the best.
This scene is just mind blowing, the tension buildup, that cat and mouse scene inside the nebula, and the music, oh that damn music is so perfect. Such a delight to watch in the movie theater with my family when I was a little boy.
2:00 See Kirks face. Smiling. Saavik is smart, but lacks experience. And so does Khan. And Kirk knows this battle will be won by the one with the most experience. Kirk just looks at Spock, and Spock just knows what kirk's plan is. Another theme of this movie: having experience vs. doing it by the book.
UnnamedRedshirt
Kirk and Spock are the two old hands who have seen it all before, and are in complete control of the situation. Nick Meyer got a good performance out of Shatner and Nimoy.
But why does Spock call her Mister Saavik?
Cybot Common shiphand etiquette. Everyone, regardless of gender, was called sir in common navy ranking system, which Star Trek pulls many of it’s militaristic terms from.
@@eventcone Indeed ! Nicholas Meyer is an amazing director.
low key delivery "its coming" great classics line
I had this on VHS I can't count how many times I watched it
This version has added footage to it! Cool!
The that's my son, human ego... Any others?
I love Dr McCoy's sly look at 0:06 it's really brief but you can tell he's just thinking "You son of a bitch Kirk!"
The Special effects are amazing for a movie made in the 80's better than today's effects...ILM at its best...
Yup!
It's especially impressive considering Paramount gave Star Trek II a very small budget to work with. They were too afraid that it would bomb at the box office like Motion Picture did. (Motion Picture had $35 million, Wrath of Khan only $11 million budget)
This is proof that you don't need a huge budget to make a good movie.
Adam Ohm
They cleverly reused footage from TMP in the departure from spacedock.
The BoP splashdown near the end of IV was probably their most incredible feat.
There wasn't for a single moment a question in my mind that it wasn't totally real.
The director nailed this. We get a nearly 10 minute (longer that any other trek) battle that is very tense and all with in the budget. Modeling this after an age of sail fight was geneioius since it doesnt have to be so much about weapons firing but more manuvering. It really shows off ILM skills.
Everyone please take a moment and just appreciate the absolutely amazing soundtrack that goes with this movie. It's everything in just the right places. Menacing and powerfuk, tense and melancholy, completely ratchet up every emotion do you have when you watch this.
80s movies had some of the best soundtracks ever.
The best Star Trek movie ever!
Undiscovered Country. Or First Contact. Kirk's last words:"Oh my."
Without a doubt!!
“Yours... is the superior...”
“I shall avenge you.”
Takes a great film to find pathos on both sides of the coin. And at that moment one painfully recalls how Joachim warned Khan not to take the bait.
For some odd reason judson scott did not get an on screen credit for this role.
In real life he formed a close lasting friendship with Mr Montalban
They used dye in a large water tank to simulate the gases of the nebula. In Das Boot, the underwater scenes were shot using a smoke-filled studio and a u-boat model. Liquid to simulate gas; gas to simulate liquid.
Corrected for "liquid".
Ok, I was JUST going to say how good this was. So its the SECOND best. Happy now?
Don't spoil the magic.
What a cool observation. If that is accurate it’s a nice little quirk of film history. Thanks for sharing.
I believe it was more complex than just dye, a few different substances mixed together and then lit up with different dyes
Luis Miguel Braun oh The irony of this

R.I.P. Kirstie Alley.
Among the stars with mr. Montalban, Horner, Nimoy and so many missed.
"sauce for the goose mr saavik" - probably my favorite spock line ever.
A great one. My favorites are, "I've been dead before" and "Mr Scott...start your engines, Mr Chekhov lay in a course for Rura Penthe." It was just very Optimus Prime to me. Which is a funny thing to say about Galvatron.
I see what you did there. :)
PAIN! SUFFERING!!
-from "Devil in the Dark"
It would've been great if David Cross had risen into the frame at that moment and asked "Sauce? Goose?"
I exaggerated 😁
Cinematic storytelling perfection. 41 years later, it's still a riveting masterpiece. Acting, costumes, effects, story, music-- it's just so damn good. Nothing comes close to this. It's gorgeous filmmaking.
When we saw this for the first time we never wanted it to end.....I still don’t.
Such a great scene - and I love this part of the soundtrack. James Horner wrote incredibly exciting and beautiful music. Fits perfectly with this battle.
Getting to see this on the big screen for its 35th anniversary was a wonderful experience.
Agreed. I can still remember the original run at the Malco near campus. A few of the guys from my dorm went to see it. It was edge of the seat excitement during the battle. Then when Enterprise rose up behind Reliant, every1 and I mean EVERY1 cheered like we at a football game.
BEST TREK MOVIE EVER!!!!!
I also got to watch this movie on the big screen back in 2018. I bought a ticket to see William Shater perform on stage, which included a screening of WOK. My God, television screens don't do this movie justice. I can't believe how immersive the experience was. The colors were richer, the uniforms were more maroon than red, the ship background noise was way more pronounced. I felt like I was on the Enterprise with the crew. It was breathtaking!
The pre CGI films have a real physicality to them. Real, on set explosions create very real reactions of shock for the actors. Just entering the Nebula makes the entire set shudder and pushes the actors forward. The ship's weapons in this film were so powerful and realistic. They had a real weight to them. Even when the starship's lasers or torpedoes miss their mark, their sheer power when passing next to the intended target is felt by everyone on board.
technically this is the first Star Trek movie with a cgi scene.
JAMES HORNER'S SCORE IS BRILLIANT. WOLFEN , ST2 , ST3 AND ALIENS. WOW. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIS MUSIC. 🖖🖖🖖🖖
WoW, thank you so much for uploading this, gorgeous in full HD too. The added scenes add more subtle commentary to one of the best stories in Trek movie history.
The entire score for the film is just incredible from beginning to end, particularly this track. From the beginning, the crescendo is just a masterpiece, especially the climax, when they show the Enterprise in orbit of Regula, and the Reliant on the other side. The score and the visuals make this absolutely epic.
Khan's second in command was the smartest guy on his bridge.
He's the same character in Space Seed who smacks Uhura. He's Khan's second in command.
Holy HELL the music is sooooo frightening!! Ha ha! Even after the scene has ended, it reverberates in your head! Awesome!
I love the look Khan gives after dude tells him he was reducing power like "you lucky you were right"
Screw CGI this is how you bring a work of art to the screen.
2:16 For me this is the best looking Enterprise...
Me too.
Me Three
Best looking Enterprise and best Starfleet uniforms. The early movie uniforms actually look both futuristic and functionally practical, like something you'd see in a real space force. The Next Generation uniforms look like they're incredibly uncomfortable and restrictive costumes.
***** In TNG they changed the uniforms for season 3 as the spandex type uniform seen season 1 and 2 were so tight it was causing problems for Patrick Stewart and his back specialist recommend he shoudnt wear them
KD84Afc™ So those uniforms were actually as uncomfortable as they looked? I didn't know that, although I suspected as much. The Season 3 and beyond uniforms didn't look much better, though.
I just wish they took style cues from the movies when they designed the uniforms for TGN, because those spandex leotards really are the worst part of the show imho. They haven't aged well, and the late '80s-early '90s aesthetic sticks out like a sore thumb in an otherwise brilliant series.
Magnificent storytelling. Khan steals the show. Epic battle scenes with real attrition. Khan deserved his own series. Such a compelling, flawed and noble character. A perfect foil for Kirks epic flawed and noble character.
the Miranda class is a beauty as well , great shots of her throughout the movie .
Tech 83 Studio I always have to remind myself that Miranda class is Canon, Avernger class isn't.
What always gets me is that short bit when the Torpedo Launcher was hit. Looked very dangerous, even for the Stuntman!
Back when the Miranda class frigates were worth something. These things were suicide ships during the Dominion war
The Saratoga didn't fare to well at Wolf 359 either
@@albertannationalist no one faired well at Wolf 359
@@albertannationalist the Saratoga doesn't fare well anywhere.
Corinthian Leather, that's even better than Rollys Royce and Mercedes!
I wonder why the Miranda and Excelsior class ships were still in use in the TNG era, but the Constitution class ships weren't.
I’m always touched when Khan says “I shall avenge you.” It shows us at least he has a bit of a loving side of any even if barely.
In the novels where they show what happened to Khan after he was exiled on on Ceti Alpha, he does marry Lt. Mcgiver who joined him in exile. And he does love her. Part of why he hates Kirk is that he never bothered to check up on them, and so is blaming him for her death.
Can I just say how much I love the exchange of "that young man is my son!" when Spock just pauses for maybe a sec, casually goes "fascinating," and then moves on.
Like, there's at least three things going on. One, that Spock is simply being a good Vulcan, who thinks he should have a calm and stoic response to, well, everything.
Two, this is Kirk, whom Spock knows well enough by now to know how full of surprises he is. That he would have a son somewhere that he's never met or talked about is honestly not even in the top ten things they've surprised Spock about him over the years.
Three, this is *Spock.* The guy who didn't tell his crewmembers that his father was a big shot ambassador until the man was literally standing on their ship. The guy who didn't tell his crewmembers that he had a wife until he was literally about to die if he didn't see her. The guy who at this point still hasn't told them that he has any siblings. *Of course* he's not surprised to hear that Kirk has a son that he's never mentioned before; after all, that's exactly what he's done with every one of his relatives.
The Z axis was what was truly missing from thrilling naval combat... well that and photon torpedos 😆
